Rising Fawn

I got a new Rugged Ridge #1500.01, 8500 lb winch for Christmas....yea, kinda early but I'm not complaining.

I'm a pretty good fabricator and have welder, torch, band saw, drill press, etc., and I plan on building my own mounting for my truck.
I know that I can buy a pre-fabricated bumper, but that's not how I roll.

Does anyone have any pictures, etc. of various mountings on a 88 Model Jeep?
I have a Comanche, but I think that a Cherokee is the same.
I want to mount it behind the front bumper.
I know that I will have to modify the existing bumper to fit around the winch plate after the winch is mounted, and I'm looking for any ideas.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I'm pretty sure a looong time ago on ComancheClub, there was a thread about the factory hidden winch bumper. Don't remember all the specifics, but if you do some digging you may be able to find some info on it. I'll see if I can find any old threads on it.
